I switched to DX11 right from the start since I heard that Vulkan was only suitable for more recent graphics cards. Generally, I don't experience many texture loading issues either, but I don't want the experience to be ruined by it (especially once I reach Baldur's Gate and there'll be a LOT...

So yeah, I reached Chapter 1 (wooooo!) and I definitely do need to upgrade my machine. :/ It struggled to load all the textures in time for the cinematics during the Nautiloid crash so during this one part where it showed a bunch of goblins running across a bridge, the bridge textures couldn't...

Ahh, that explains it. I had a feeling that Tav was the default name for all characters since I saw it in the Name field, but I still had no idea how it came to be, so thanks for the explanation. :) Also, I just reached Level 2 and apparently you HAVE to pick a Wizard specialization? But at the...

I'm still on the Nautiloid (I know, I know, I'm slow... XD) but so far I'm fairly impressed with what I've seen. The game definitely holds a lot of potential, although some of my bigger gripes/concerns with the game will likely only make themselves manifest once I'm much deeper in (mostly...

I'm actually quite impressed with how well the game is running on my 5-year old machine (with an nVidia GeForce 1080 GTX), although I think that as I get further out into the world and take on bigger battles, the strain will start to show. I might have to consider an upgrade soon. XD

I created my usual (and beloved) Human Male Wizard (no sub-classes. I like being able to cast ALL the spells!) Tek'ran Al'Hazrad who basically is my alter-ego in most fantasy RPGs, although I'm not sure yet if I'll keep his current look. I might go back and recreate him and some point. So far I...

I first got introduced to tabletop (and D&D in general) when I was like only 6 or 7. We had a family gathering at my uncle's place, and several of my cousins were setting up a game. Naturally, none of them wanted to spend time babysitting the annoying little kid asking a dozen questions per...

At this stage I'm confident in saying that, barring MAJOR and game-breaking bugs in the subsequent acts, BG3 will be an excellent, even phenomenal CRPG that will win a bunch of awards and be remembered fondly by gamers for years to come. Although it has bent or changed some tabletop rules for...

Yeah, Viva La Dirt League is awesome. :D I still need to make time to go through and watch their backlog, but their skits on everything from video game cliches to RPG tropes (they have a whole series dedicated to D&D!), to workplace woes and more is usually spot on.

Honestly if push came to shove, I am not against including the option to respec companions as well. After all, I have the freedom to NOT do it (and I probably won't. It would feel... "wrong". Like I'm changing who they are against their will. It's different if I was playing AS them, but they...

It was also something you could do in Jade Empire, another older Bioware RPG, where if you wanted to take the evil path and usurp the Water Dragon's power, you had to murder one of your companions and pour their blood into the Water Dragon's open wounds.

I've still yet to watch the last Panel (or read a summary about it) so this reply is based purely off reading that Kotaku article and what you guys have said. 1. Firstly, the Halsin Bear scene did make me raise an eyebrow, but I'm not really bothered by it. As Urdnot mentioned, it's not truly...

I sympathize with your disappointment, but as someone who prefers mostly silent protagonists whose voices I can fill in in my own head, this would actually be a win for me. No offense intended, naturally. XD The post said that 6th level spells are now in the game. Sadly, that means no "Finger...

My party in SoD was myself (Mage), Corwin (I just loooove Archers in the Infinity Engine games), Viconia, M'Khiin, and the final two slots I swapped around a fair bit depending on whose personal quests I wanted to do at the time, but I ultimately went with Safana and Rasaad. Like Urdnot_Wrex, I...

Woah, August 31 is precisely my birthday! XD

Forgot about this one. I'm an incorrigible packrat (in all games that I play), so yes, if I see a container, it's getting looted. XD

That... actually explains a lot about the slow but steady decline of the plots in series like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. O.o

Romancing all the ladies in each playthrough. Don't look at me like that! I just can't stand seeing them unhappy! :P

If it's who I think it is (I haven't played W3 yet myself, but I've thoroughly spoiled myself already), that is indeed a very sneaky bit of foreshadowing, but yep, no spoilers from me. :)

I echo this suggestion! XD
